Allergic to codeine?!
Question:
Allergic to codeine?
If someone is allergic to codeine, what pain medications can be prescribed (not OTC)? This isn't a contact allergy. It is trouble breathing, tightening of the chest etc. Most pain killers are synthetic codeine but I don't know if these would have the same reaction. Anyone know or have been in the same same situation?
Answers:
Since these are by prescription only, once you inform the doctor of your allergy he will prescribe you another type of pain medication with out codeine in it. I never heard of it but any allergy can can exist to almost anything so I'm not surprised.
